Hi,
Is there any way to adjust the spacing between stanzas of lyrics? So far, I've
been able to move the stanza closer to the staff above it, but I haven't been
able to adjust the spacing between stanzas.
I've included a "tiny example" below with a few of my attempts to date
commented out. What I'm trying to do is decrease the space between stanza 1 and
stanza 2. Anyone know how to do this?
thanks,
Karl

\paper{

\layout {
\context{
\Lyrics
\override LyricText #'font-size = #-1
\override StanzaNumber #'font-size = #-1
% This does nothing. I think it worked in 2.12, but is gone for 2.13.
%\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(6 . 0)
% This brings the first stanza closer to top stave, but doesn't adjust
spacing between stanza 1 and 2.
%\override VerticalAxisGroup #'inter-staff-spacing = #'((space . -1))
% This throws: warning: cannot find property type-check for
`nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing' (backend-type?). perhaps a typing error?
%\override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing = #'((space . 30))
}

sopranoPart = \relative c {

}
tenorPart = \relative c {
c'4 d e f g
}
verseOneWords = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1"
This is this first verse.
}
verseTwoWords = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2"
This is this second verse.
}
